Pros

As a private EMS service, the pay and benefits are better than government run EMS services.

Cons

You are nothing but a number to this company. As EMS professionals, we are underserved mental health wise as we see the worst of the worst. That is a given, and we know and expect it from the beginning of our careers. However, there will always be those calls that just get to you. Expect ZERO support from this company, ZERO empathy, and unless you keep your mouth shut and keep your pain and internal struggle to yourself, they will find a way to get rid of you because there will always be another warm body with a patch to fill your spot. The current director of operations is a "tough guy" who is quick to sniff out any sign of weakness. If you get injured on the job, you will lose his respect, completely.

Pros

There’s a good workforce here with employees who are well united on issues a strong sense that the company is actually pushing toward a positive future in terms of operations. Ambulance fleet seems to be getting good upgrades and call volume (in most areas) is manageable. There is also a good amount of OT available with bonuses/incentives available. Matching 401k is nice and health benefits are very reasonable.

Cons

For being such a large operation, the pay rate seems to be lacking as of right now. Most employees with adult responsibilities are having to rely heavily on overtime/incentives just to have a semi-comfortable lifestyle outside of work. Uniforms definitely need improvements and training for new EMTs seems a bit lackluster. The morale can be low at times also due to the company being write-up happy (for lack of a better term). Lack of 24 hour units and proper posting locations makes for a somewhat harsh work day as well.
